This is BBC World News Today with me, Rajesh Mirchandani. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
A gunman in Afghan army uniform in Kabul opens fire | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
The major general is the most senior officer to die in Afghanistan | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
Many others are wounded in the attack. | :00:21. | :00:32. | |
The Secretary of State extends half of the men and women in this | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
department, his thoughts and prayer is to all those affected by this | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
tragedy. Israel withdraws its troops | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
from Gaza after agreeing a temporary ceasefire | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
, but the death toll after weeks of Bernie Ecclestone, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
the boss of Formula One, agrees to pay a hundred million | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
dollars to escape bribery charges. And a Royal visit to the sea | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
of poppies installed at the Tower of London to commemorate those who | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
died in the First World War. We begin with | :01:02. | :01:20. | |
the deadly inside-attack at an elite At this British run camp in Kabul | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the US says it believes an Afghan soldier fired at officers and shot | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
dead an American major-general. He's the most senior US officer to | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
be killed in Afghanistan The Pentagon has been speaking | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
about the incident... I can confirm that an individual | :01:43. | :01:54. | |
believed to be an Afghan soldier fired today into a group of | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
Coalition troops at the defence University in Kabul. There are a | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
number of casualties, perhaps up to to include some Americans. Many were | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
seriously wooded, others received only minor injuries. The assailant | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
was killed. -- wounded. And Major General was among the casualties. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
That was the Pentagon spokesperson. The BBC's Tom Esslemont is | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
in Washington. Can you give us any more about what | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
we know is thought to have happened and by who? You heard the Pentagon | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
spokesperson confirming that this was an American general who was | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
killed in this attack at the British run academy, or the entrance to it, | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
just outside Kabul, and military Academy and that it was an Afghan | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
soldier, he believes, who carried out the attack. Other members of the | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Coalition forces were injured in this attack. What the Pentagon has | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
not yet done has confirmed the identity of the general or his exact | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
rank. He said that family members were still being informed, but it is | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
still a bitter blow for US forces who are still in the process of | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
withdrawing from Afghanistan. On that point, what has the reaction | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
been in the US to this killing? It is a sad truth that we hear all too | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
often about US and British and other allied forces being killed in | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Afghanistan, what is the reaction given that this is a senior member | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
of the Armed Forces and that this is the year that the US is supposed to | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
pull out? It is a bitter blow any time an attack of this kind happens, | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
not only because of loss of life, but because it dents the project | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
that the United States has been trying to implement in Afghanistan | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
under Barack Obama who has been withdrawing troops gradually over | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
the last few years. There are around 30,000 US troops in Afghanistan, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
down from 100,020 11 and by the end of this year, there will be around | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
10,000 troops on Afghan soil. Other members of the Coalition are doing | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
similar things. There is a big problem for Afghanistan, because of | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
insecurity caused by this kind of attack, each time something like | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
this happens, it is a boost for the Taliban who opposes the position of | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
foreign troops on Afghan soil. There is the worry of future stability for | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
the country, because we still do not know who will replace hammered cars | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
I as President, because there is still a dispute over the winner of | :04:54. | :05:07. | |
the election -- Matt Hamid Karsi. Thank you. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Twelve hours in and the latest ceasefire | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas is holding right now. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Israel has also withdrawn its troops from the Gaza strip but says | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
It's been four weeks since Israel launched its military operation in | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
Gaza in response to rocket strikes by the militant group Hamas. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
The fighting has left more than 1,800 Palestinians dead, | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
most of them civilians, hundreds of thousands have fled their homes. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Meanwhile 67 Israelis have also died during the operation, | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Our correspondent Jon Donnison reports from Beit Hanoun in North | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
This man is 80. He has survived half a dozen wars in Gaza and our | :05:46. | :06:08. | |
lifetime of struggle. He has returned to find his family home | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
destroyed. For the third time. Mohamid is one of 34 grandchildren. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
He is salvaging what he can from the rubble of what is his fourth war. | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
This was his grandfather's bedroom, a room with a view. A mile away in | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
the dust, you can see the Israeli tanks withdrawing. Ahmed was a | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
teacher, he is no supporter of Hamas but he says this war did not start a | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
month ago, it is about Israel's decades long military occupation and | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
land. We want this return to us now. The Gaza Strip. The West Bank as | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
well. Will you stay? Yes, I will stay and all my family will stay, | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
here. Where will we go? Israeli bombs also destroyed the family | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
business. A chicken farm. The co-ops are gone, the birds are dead. That | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
coops. Ahmed and his son also grow fruit and vegetables, but the | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
blockade of Gaza which Hamas once lifted, killed their trade. The | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
blockade is not just about what comes into Gaza, it is about what | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
comes out. When they cross the border, everything is down. The | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
blockade is not just about goods and business, it is about people. He has | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
three teenage children, none of them have ever left Gaza, none of them | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
have ever met an Israeli and this tiny stretch of land, which has seen | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
so much destruction is less than one third the size of London. | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
Palestinians feel trapped in a cycle of death, destruction and | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
rebuilding. This will not be the last war, but once again, Gaza has | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
been crippled. The healing will take years. Many will never recover. | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
Amazing pictures of destruction. With me now from Washington is | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Neri Zilber. He's a visiting fellow with the | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
Washington Institute and an expert Thank you for speaking with us. How | :08:58. | :09:09. | |
hopeful are you that this cease-fire will last? I think everyone that is | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
looking on is hopeful that this cease-fire lasts longer than two | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
hours. The previous one this past weekend, it is important for the | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
viewers to understand that this is a first stage in the cease-fire. The | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
real negotiations for our more doable solution will have to be | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
hammered out by the parties in Cairo. That is the point is, part of | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
the agreement for this 72 hour cease-fire, part of the deal is that | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
both sides attend talks in Cairo, both sides are going, does that give | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
you any more hope that not only will this cease-fire at last the full 72 | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
hours which has not happened yet, but that there could be a lasting | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
peace achieved? Sure, I hope it is a more hopeful sign that the parties | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
are there and they are negotiating. We should not delude ourselves, the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
gaps between the parties are still significant. Overall, I think Hamas | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
has to back down from the demands it has been making over the past month | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
and try to find a compromise so that the people of Gaza, more than | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
anyone, have a better way forward and a brighter future. In terms of | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
those demands that Hamas once, they want an end to the blockade of Gaza | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
and the opening of border crossings and Egypt. Egypt has brokered this | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
cease-fire, the talks are in Cairo, clearly Egypt has something that | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
Hamas once, what about Israel, are they likely to compromise -- wants | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
all stop I think demilitarisation is a hope. It is something to put on | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the table, because I think it is very important to remember that the | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
blockade around Gaza did not just happen coincidently. It is due to a | :11:13. | :11:24. | |
Hamas coup, due to Hamas not giving up their arms. You call it a coup, | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
they did win an election and they have a mandate in Gaza. On that | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
point about whether peace is possible, we were hearing from the | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
Palestinian legislator today that a long-term truce would be difficult, | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
because she said, what Israel has done is make peace more difficult | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
because it has created more anger and hostility. When you look at the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
destruction in Gaza it is hard to see how either side can back down. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
They have to come together and find a better way forward, I should | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
mention that the Palestinian legislator is very much part of the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
solution here. I think a better way forward for a Gaza and Israel and | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Egypt would see a return of the legitimate authorities, the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Palestinian Authority back into Gaza to start undoing a lot of the damage | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
that was done by the measures of Hamas during the coup. Do you think | :12:24. | :12:36. | |
it Fatah regain control, Israel would negotiate with them? Yes, | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Israel is aware of the crisis inside Gaza. I think it, along with the | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
rest of the international community and Egypt are looking for a | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
mechanism by which to open up Gaza. The biggest stumbling block at the | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
moment is Hamas and their utilisation of terrorism and | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
violence. Many would disagree, Israel also has their image to think | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
of, but we will have to leave it there. Thank you for joining us. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Staying with this story for a moment: | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
A British Foreign Office Minister, Sayeeda Warsi, | :13:14. | :13:14. | |
has resigned over the British government's position on Gaza, | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Baroness Warsi said she believed the government's current policy was | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
Baroness Warsi was the first Muslim woman to serve in a British Cabinet. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
The Prime Minister said his government had always stated | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
that the situation in Gaza was intolerable and that | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
both sides should agree to an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
A German court has dropped bribery charges against the head of Formula | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
One racing, Bernie Ecclestone, after he offered to pay a hundred | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
Mr Ecclestone faced up to ten years in prison if he'd been found guilty. | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Our sports news correspondent Andy Swiss has more. | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
He is no stranger to big-money deals, but perhaps none as important | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
as theirs. Bernie Ecclestone arriving in court this morning to | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
agree a ?60 million payment which would spell the end of the case | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
which had threatened his Formula One future. Accompanied by his lawyers | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
and his wife, the relief was already playing to see. For more than three | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
months, he has been on trial in Munich, the accusation that he | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
bribed a German banker ?26 million to steer it the sale of Formula One | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
to a company which would keep Bernie Ecclestone in charge. He said this | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
was not the case and that he had only paid the money because the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
banker was blackmailing him. This morning the judge said the suspicion | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
of bribery against Barney -- Bernie Ecclestone was not backed up and ask | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
if he could pay the ?60 million quickly and he said he could. Such | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
deals can be struck under barbarian law and leaves the Formula One boss | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
a free man. This is not about a conviction but a cessation of the | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
trial Wildman taming the presumption of innocence. There will be no | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
guilty verdict whatsoever. -- whilst maintaining. Bernie Ecclestone has | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
been the driving force of Formula One, transforming it into a global | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
success story. These allegations have been about control. He won a | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
civil case in London but was warned he would be sacked if convicted of | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
any criminal act. Now to the growing fears over | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. British Airways has now suspended | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until the end | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
of August. The Ebola virus has killed almost | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
900 people across West Africa since the outbreak started in March | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
this year. With me is the BBC's global | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
health reporter, Tulip Mazumdar. She was in Guinea last month | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
reporting on the outbreak. The You do. But talk to about what | :15:59. | :16:16. | |
we are seeing now, British Airways suspending flights, organisations | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
are ramping up their about this. There have been quite a few | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
developments like this in the last few weeks although this has been | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
going on since March. But it airways is the last airline to come out and | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
say, we are going to suspend flights to Sierra Leone and Liberia. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Emirates had already done similar. A couple of West African airlines have | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
done that as well. They are blaming it on the deteriorating health | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
situation in both of those countries. Saudi Arabia, we have the | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
hajj coming up, the annual pilgrimage. Saudi Arabia said they | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
will not be giving visas to people from the three affected countries. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
There will be deploying teams to make sure people who are potentially | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
showing symptoms are taken away. So there have been quite a few | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
developments in the last few weeks and at the same pieces ready ramping | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
up in the last few days. And we knew of two Americans being evacuated | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
back to America. They are back now in Atalanta. They were given a syrup | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
which is being developed by an American company in California. It's | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
basically a blood sera which they give their bodies to boost their | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
antibodies to help their immune system make them recover quicker and | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
easier. This drug has not been tested on humans yet. It has not | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
been licensed. It has been tested on animals with positive effects but at | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
this stage, they were given the chance to have this sera. They | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
accepted it, knowing it has not been put through all these ways they | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
normally licensed these drugs. Reportedly they are both doing much | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
better. Especially the doctor who got sick in Liberia and his | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
colleague as well. She is said to be doing much better. But this is | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
something not being given widely yet because it has not been licensed. | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
Nancy's husband said she was weak but improving. Thank you. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Yesterday, we showed you some of the commemoration services that have | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
been taking place to mark 100 years since the start of World War One. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Here in London, the anniversary is also being marked | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
Thousands of ceramic poppies are spilling | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
to represent British and Commonwealth soldiers killed | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, was there. | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
Each poppy represents a life, and with approximately one million | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
British and Commonwealth deaths in the Great War, this is a piece | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
of art on a scale which is both spectacular and sobering, spreading | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
as it does from the walls of the Tower and into the dry moat which | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
surrounds it - a reminder both of the magnitude of the losses and of | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
the part played by the Tower in the Great War recruiting process - here | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
men assembled to join up and to swear their allegiance to king and | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
The idea for the installation was a wartime poem by an anonymous | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
soldier, Blood Swept Lands And Seas of Red, inspired the installation's | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
This is one of the ways I can actually explain to people how many | :19:35. | :19:49. | |
people died, in a way that everyone can see unilaterally, because it's | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
It's not just a number - you can visualise it all. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, who last night | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
were representing the United Kingdom at the official commemoration of | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
the start of the conflict at a war cemetery in Belgium, walked slowly | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
through the field of poppies and then each in turn they placed | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
It's already taken nearly two years to bring the concept to this point, | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
and as the organisers point out, this is an artwork which is still | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
So far they've planted around 120,000 poppies, and that's just | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
By the time this installation is complete in November, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
the poppies will stretch all the way around the Tower. | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
Bridging the years, a piece of contemporary artwork | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
in modern London which reminds us of the events and | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Scientists are poised for a key moment in the history | :20:48. | :21:06. | |
of space exploration tomorrow, when a spacecraft attempts to | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
The Rosetta was launched ten years ago and it's going to try to orbit | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
around the comet as it flies through space at nearly | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
Here's our science editor, David Shukman. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
We are now almost at the point of getting our closest ever look | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
of the strangest things objects in the solar system, | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
Throughout human history, comets have lit up the night sky, | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
their tails inspiring a mix of fascination and fear. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
Over the past ten years, a European spacecraft called Rosetta | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
has been catching up, racing across billions of miles of space, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
So let's take a closer look at how this extraordinary mission | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
The Rosetta spacecraft, with its huge solar panels | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
and on-board instruments, is now on the brink of a unique achievement, | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Rosetta will manoeuvre around the comet. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
It will have to fly in a triangular pattern - with so little gravity, | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
it cannot orbit in the normal circle, but once this starts, | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
its instruments will examine the structure of the comet, exactly what | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
it is made of, how much water there is - in the form of ice - | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
and the carbon and other molecules that may be present. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
These are the key ingredients needed for life, and it's possible that | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
The biggest question that we're trying to get an answer to is, | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
Was it the building blocks of life that were brought to us on a comet? | :22:44. | :22:53. | |
Getting into orbit will be an incredible achievement | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
in itself, but later this year, Rosetta should go even further. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
It will release a lander about the size of small fridge to | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
touch down on the comet to study it in unprecedented detail. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Rosetta will study the comet for a year - previous missions have | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
just flown past - and it will hunt for the key ingredient for life. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
We don't know actually whether comets and asteroids may | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
have delivered quite a bit of water but also us - where did organic | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
It might have come from comets as well. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
So it's fundamental questions we want the answers to. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
Tomorrow's rendezvous with the comet will be a landmark | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
No one knows how hard it will be, let alone whether landing | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
on this bizarre surface will be possible later this year. | :23:45. | :23:59. | |
With me now from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, | :24:00. | :24:00. | |
here in London, is public astronomer Dr Marek Kukula. | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
How exciting is this? It has never been tried before so this really is | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
ground-breaking. Manoeuvring in space. But also the scientific prize | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
is amazing. We are asking fundamental questions about where we | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
came from, where the water on Earth came from, the origins of life. I am | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
a huge fan of stories like this. I love science fiction and this is | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
science fact. I always ask people when they say the scientific prices | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
are great, why is it important that we know about where the fundamental | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
building blocks of life came from? Their philosophical reasons why it | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
is interesting to know where we came from. But it is the practical | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
application of that knowledge compare to the cost of getting | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
it... Absolutely. This is an important question. When we develop | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
missions like this we develop brand-new technology that can do | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
things no one has ever been able to do before. The technology is | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
designed to explore a comet will have spin off applications back here | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
on Earth. They are difficult to predict, but also understanding | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
fundamental questions like the origins of life and water may have | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
huge implications for the way we understand things back here on Earth | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
in the future. With things like this it is difficult to predict the | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
benefits apart from understanding ourselves better, but it is very | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
difficult to rule out that there won't be many spin offs that will | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
have very practical uses. We have seen that with the US space | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
programme and shuttle as well. What if it fails? What if it doesn't | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
work? This has never been tried before. It is incredible that it has | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
got this far, the ten year voyage, and so far it is forming perfectly. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
But even if something goes wrong we will learn a lot about how to do it | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
better next time. So with anything, a big mission of such ambition, you | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
have to do it step-by-step. Now it's crunch time, it's arriving at the | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
comet. We will see over the next few months some amazing images and | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
daredevil manoeuvres. Will there be a countdown party when it happens? | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Are you watching it live? I am sure there will be a very tense few hours | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
as the probe approaches the surface. I know the astronomers who | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
spent ten years of their life and ten years before that planning it | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
are on tenterhooks right now. A mixture of excitement and anxiety. | :26:37. | :26:37. | |

Next the weather, but for now, from me | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
and the rest of the team, goodbye. If you want some rain on the | :26:49. | :27:02. | |
forecast, you will like this forecast. There is rain coming in | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
from | :27:09. | :27:09. |
